Tonic puts eye tests in focus with The One Show interview

The Tonic was tasked with leveraging the Vision Expresspartnership with Vision Matters for National Eye Health Week 2019 and the importance of eye tests.

Broadcast coverage generated included a primetime Channel 5 News segment, and the Vision Express optometrist featured on BBC’s The One Show on 1 October 2019.
